[QUOTE="ChiefGritty, post: 2039762, member: 746137"] Usage rate shows how often a player ends his team's possessions, either through a shot, drawing free throws, or turning the ball over. It's NOT a measure of how much they have the ball in their hands, so it's pretty apples and oranges from a question of "ball security" (which seems to be the concept you're really driving at rather than "ballhandling" in like the Tim Hardaway, Jason Williams sense.) True pass-first PG's are going to be low-usage despite always having the ball because they're looking to dish the "usage" to their teammates. To kind of drive that home, you know who has a higher usage rate and a lower turnover percentage than Domask? Dain Dainja. (Shannon too, incidentally. And Zach Edey, Tyson Walker, Tominaga, AJ Storr, Jahmir Young, the underlying concept that Domask is a low-TO player is just kinda not true) [/QUOTE]
